    What a charity website has to do

    Two very different visitors land on the same site: a donor deciding whether to give and a person deciding whether you can help them. The site has to convert donations, recurring gifts, volunteer signups and program inquiries, and it has to answer the trust question quickly with financials, ratings and real outcomes. What usually breaks is a donation page that redirects to a slow third-party form, program pages with no intake detail, an events calendar that is two years stale and a homepage that says a lot without telling anyone what to do next.

    Skyfield designs and builds the site, then the same team ranks it. Nothing gets handed off between a design shop and an SEO shop, so the structure, speed and content are right from the first day it is live.

    What a website for charities has to do

    • Fast donation flowA donation page that accepts one-time and recurring gifts on the site itself, with tribute and matching gift options.
    • Clear program pagesEach program with who qualifies, where and when it operates, and exactly how to apply or get referred.
    • Transparency sectionAnnual reports, Form 990, ratings badges and board list where donors can find them in one click.
    • Volunteer signupOpportunities listed by role, date and location with a signup form that routes to the right coordinator.

    What We Build Into Charities Websites

    The page types, integrations and details that turn visitors into customers for charities.

    Donation platform integration

    Embedded giving through Givebutter, Bloomerang, Classy, Funraise or Stripe with recurring and employer match support.

    Program finder

    A filter by need, location and eligibility that points visitors to the right program page.

    Impact dashboard

    Editable stats and stories that show outcomes without publishing a new report every year.

    Events and campaigns

    Event pages with registration and peer-to-peer fundraising links that archive cleanly when they end.

    CRM and email sync

    Forms connected to Bloomerang, Salesforce Nonprofit Cloud, Neon or Little Green Light.

    Accessibility compliance

    WCAG 2.2 AA color contrast, keyboard navigation and screen reader labels built in from the start.

    Built on the Right Platform

    WordPress fits most charities because it supports donation plugins, event calendars and dozens of program pages with a staff-friendly editor. Drupal is the better choice for large organizations with complex permissions, multiple chapters or government funding requirements.

    WordPress

    Content-heavy sites, service businesses and anything that needs to be easy for your team to edit.

    Shopify

    Product catalogs, checkout and inventory for brands that sell online.

    Wix

    Smaller sites that need to launch fast on a managed platform.

    Drupal

    Larger organizations with complex permissions, content workflows and integrations.

    Custom

    Portals, calculators, booking flows and applications that no template handles well.

    Built to Rank From Day One

    Most redesigns lose rankings because the new site launches without the redirects, page structure and technical setup the old one had earned. Skyfield builds every website for charities the way we would want to inherit it as your SEO team, because we are your SEO team.

    The site launches with clean URL structure, schema markup, fast Core Web Vitals, tracking in GA4 and Search Console, and content written for the searches your customers make on Google and inside AI assistants.

    Website Questions From Charities

    Skyfield quotes per project based on page count, donation integration and content needs. A typical charity site takes six to ten weeks, with larger multi-program organizations running longer.

    We inventory every URL, keep the ones that earn traffic, redirect the rest and preserve titles and content that work. Search Console is monitored after launch so nothing slips unnoticed.

    Yes. We integrate with Bloomerang, Salesforce, Neon, Little Green Light, Givebutter, Classy and most other nonprofit platforms so gifts and signups flow into your records automatically.

    Your organization does. The domain, hosting account, code and content are all in your name. We will document logins and hand everything to your staff or board.

    The build includes on-page SEO, schema and a clean technical foundation. Continued rankings, program content and AI visibility come through our SEO and GEO plans, which most charities start at launch.
